Patent number: 11972323Abstract: An apparatus includes a light source to provide a plurality of input optical modes in a squeezed state. The apparatus also includes a network of interconnected reconfigurable beam splitters (RBSs) configured to perform a unitary transformation of the plurality of input optical modes to generate a plurality of output optical modes. An array of photon counting detectors is in optical communication with the network of interconnected RBSs and configured to measure the number of photons in each mode of the plurality of the output optical modes after the unitary transformation. The apparatus also includes a controller operatively coupled to the light source and the network of interconnected RBSs. The controller is configured to control at least one of the squeezing factor of the squeezed state of light, the angle of the unitary transformation, or the phase of the unitary transformation.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc.Inventors: Kamil Bradler, Daiqin Su, Nathan Killoran, Maria Schuld, Zachary Vernon, Lukas Helt, Blair Morrison, Dylan Mahler

Publication number: 20230050745Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for sample collection. In one example, a device is provided comprising at least one capillary tube or collection channel directed to a sample vessel, wherein in a one-step removal step of detaching the sample vessel from the collection channel, a vacuum force is created within the sample vessel, due in part of the pulling of the sealed vessel away from the device, wherein this vacuum force draw out residual sample that may still be resident in the collection channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventor: Zachary Morrison

Publication number: 20190287657Abstract: Bodily fluid sample collection systems, devices, and method are provided. The device may comprise a first portion comprising at least a sample collection channel configured to draw the fluid sample into the sample collection channel via a first type of motive force. The sample collection device may include a second portion comprising a sample vessel for receiving the bodily fluid sample collected in the sample collection channel, the sample vessel operably engagable to be in fluid communication with the collection channel, whereupon when fluid communication is established, the vessel and/or another source provides a second motive force different from the first motive force to move a majority of the bodily fluid sample from the channel into the vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2019Publication date: September 19, 2019Inventors: Elizabeth A. Holmes, Clarissa Lui, Michael Chen, Daniel Young, Adrit Lath, Zachary Morrison, Brian Argyres, William Westrick
